With running in the air, the marathon THIS WEEKEND, and a big rest of 2014 coming up, here is a post about one playlist in particular that I see as LEGAL performance enhancement... or PEP if you will (Performance Enhancing Playlists).

All 4 sessions we did over the last 2 weeks, and it fit together really well and for those who were committed enough to come to all 4 sessions, I really feel like it was a great progression and can truly give a SPARK to an athlete's fitness and running form.

Learn a good technique to free up your shoulder, my purpose is for swimming, but your's can be anything! (Please don't mind the first 10 seconds of the video, little editing issues, aka I don't know how LOL)
